Currently, Michigan has about 200,000 special education students, about double the number a decade ago. This is in part to the dedication and determination of the Social Workers that are in the Public Schools. Many years ago several special needs children were misplaced, misdiagnosed, and allowed to go unnoticed. Today, thanks to people like Sheryl Smith, Public School Social Worker, families, educators and students are given a chance to work together to develop a special formula that works for the success of the individual student. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) has categories of Disabilities: Autism Deaf-Blindness Deafness Hearing impairment Mental retardation Multiple disabilities Orthopedic impairment Other health impairment Serious emotional disturbance Specific learning disability Speech or language impairment Traumatic brain injury Visual impairment, including blindness

HOME PAGE Citizens Research Council of Michigan Outline of State of Michigan Health Programs pdf version Introduction Keyword Search Appropriations Act Reference Table Health Program Revenues ... Regulation Introduction This outline is designed to be a ready reference to health programs and spending by the state of Michigan. Health Programs Defined Health programs defined in this outline are those that have the primary purpose of: promoting the public health; preventing health problems; maintaining and improving personal health; identifying threats to health; and, treating physical and mental disease. There are four principal ways in which the state addresses these goals: Direct Provision. The state employs persons and runs facilities such as state mental hospitals, laboratories and prison infirmaries that provide direct health services. Purchase. The state purchases health services from a broad range of individuals and organizations through programs like Medicaid and state employee health insurance. Grants are included in this category since the state is most often providing funds with the expectation that the work conducted will result in findings and service deliveries that assist in future policy making and allocation decisions for the purchase of services. General support funds for community mental health programs, local health departments, substance abuse agencies and area agencies on aging are included here since the state is purchasing the services they provide through the provision of these funds.
